Isaac BlankensmithLand of Pines plays Reverb Fest’s Salmon Bay Eagles stage at 7 p.m. on Saturday, October 8.This post is a part of special Reverb Questionnaire series in which we ask local bands to discuss the legacy of the Seattle music explosion of 1991, as well as the class of 2011.What do you think the legacy of the 1991 grunge explosion is for the Seattle scene?Land of Pines’ Evan Easthope: Flannel.Do you hear many influences of the sound in today’s bands?Absolutely. Seapony is totally on that Alice in Chains trip . . . but seriously, I think Seattle is still a place to find consistently forward-thinking guitar-rock music. At the same time, I think it’s impossible to be a rock band in Seattle and separate yourself from the city’s history of rock music. So whether or not you are a fan of Seattle music, you react to it one way or another as a Seattle band. It’s weird, I feel like a lot of Seattle bands are good at being sentimental and giving the finger at the same time. In what ways are your band influenced by the 1991 sound?Our band is loud. Not necessarily heavy, but loud. We’re fairly well-rehearsed. We love a good anthem. We dress comfortably. I personally heart Pearl Jam bigtime, and that may show a bit in LOP’s music. Not everyone in my band agrees on that one, but Kessiah (the other guitarist/singer) and I wear that badge of loyalty proudly. We all love Mudhoney, Soundgarden, Nirvana and the rest.How do you describe the Seattle sound today?That’s an unfair question. Seattle has a lot of sounds today. I’m not exactly sure what Beat Connection and the Globes have in common, but they’re both great and from Seattle. But if it had team colors, I’m fairly certain the Seattle sound would be seafoam green and dark grey or something like that.What were you doing on October 8, 1991?On October 8, 1991 I was more than likely watching the highlight reel “Dazzling Dunks and Basketball Bloopers” on VHS. Over and over again. Oh, to be 2 again. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
